Help Please!!!
earlier tonight i while i was at mcdonalds i noticed my a/c was getting warmer, then i realized that the fan wasnt going on when i turned it off and on. while i was trying to figure it out for i dont know what reason i look at my cluster and saw it at H!!! so i pulled over on the side till it cooled down, coolant level was fine it didnt seem that hot. so while i was driving home my a/c was once again cold then the temp shot up again, but as soon as i threw it in nuetral the temp gauge would go down.(it went from 3/4 to half) need help trying to figure it out......thermostat??? hopefully not water pump i dont know any input thanks guys sorry for the long story

I had a similar, but lucky scenario..
On the way home from a long day at work, I noticed my a/c get warm and stay warm.. I was like wtf? .. Same thing, coolant gauge past H, oh ****, pull over.
Culprit was a pinhole in my heater core bypass hose. Leaked all my coolant out. It magically disappeared on my way home after adding some coolant. Needless to say heater core is working again tho.
Glad you were able to catch it before you broke da motor.![Wink](https://www.i-club.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)

Everyone is having coolant system problems this month? lol
One of the lines going to the throttle body busted and sprayed coolant over the top, making a nice white steam column out the hoodscoop, hows that for a scare...
